A serious, structured, and expressive sparkling wine that appears playfully fruity on the nose, yet reveals itself to be gripping, focused, and far more serious on the palate.

Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
A bright, intense orange-red with a striking inner radiance and a fine, elegant perlage after the initial, powerful foaming in the glass.
Nose
On the nose, this Champagne is wonderfully fragrant and inviting. It combines the carefree style of a fluffy strawberry cake with vanilla cream with tart, fresh nuances of cranberries and blood oranges. Ethereal accents of mint and lemon verbena lend the aromatic profile a wonderful clarity.
Palate
On the palate, the Grand Cru reveals its full seriousness and structure. It presents itself as significantly drier and more focused than the playful nose would suggest. The wine builds up enormous pressure and power, yet remains perfectly balanced thanks to the fine interplay of tart fruit, vibrant acidity and the carefully measured sweetness of 4 grams. The texture is gripping, supported by a fine, ripe tannin structure.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes come from a single vineyard site called Le Revers du Plumecoq in Chouilly, the northernmost Grand Cru of the famous Côte des Blancs. While the commune is primarily known for its pure chalk soils and world-class Chardonnay, this parcel proves that red grape varieties can also develop a fascinating, salty freshness and chalky structure here.
Grape Variety & Vinification
This single-varietal Pinot Noir was produced as a Rosé de Saignée. The grapes from the 2020 vintage macerated on the skins for two days before pressing. Spontaneous fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, deliberately without malolactic fermentation to preserve the pure freshness. After bottling in May 2021, the wine matured under natural cork in the cellar until it was disgorged by hand (à la volée) in December 2024 with a dosage of 4 g/l.
Food Pairings
Thanks to its vinous structure and fine tannins, this rosé is an excellent partner for food. It shines alongside pan-seared duck breast with a cranberry reduction, fine beef tartare or quail breast on lentil vegetables.
Special Features
As a member of the prestigious grower association Club Trésors de Champagne, founded in 1971, Vazart-Coquart is permitted to bottle this exclusive, bulbous special bottle. A sophisticated Rosé de Saignée that unites the chalky freshness of Chouilly with the structure of a great Pinot Noir.
